Chapter 380 Why does the apple fall from the tree
According to the original plan, after completing the reward of the soldiers who went to the expedition, we should enter the important distribution of spoils. We should find a way to take the ownership of those large livestock from Yan Fei. After all, in order to reward the soldiers who went to the expedition, the Ministry of Revenue really took out all the things under the bilge.
But I don’t know what was going on, but the situation was repeatedly deviated and actually went to the comparison between the two sides to learn. Fang Xuanling looked at the scene in front of him and could only shake his head helplessly.
The court was infuriated, and many civil officials all glared at Yan Fei. The first reaction of the civil officials was to overwhelm this guy who said he was smarter than everyone in the Tang Dynasty.
In this era, people always regard face as more than life. Yan Fei’s so cruel mocking of their knowledge is a slap in the face. This requires a counterattack, and a fierce counterattack.
When it comes to war or something, civil officials are indeed not as good as those generals. But as Yan Fei said before, civil officials are all the best at or are the best at it. In their opinion, among all known countries, there is no better cultural than the Tang Dynasty.
This is indeed true, but what they did not expect was that Yan Fei came from the modern world of the information explosion and came from an era where countless cultural knowledge was accumulated thousands of years later.
After getting the emperor's acquiescence, the first person to jump out was Tang Jian. The famous diplomat looked at Yan Fei with a smile on his face, "I heard that you were also going north with the army and going deep into the grassland. Have you ever passed by the Yellow River?"
Yan Fei's eyes slanted slightly, "Do you want to compete with me in mathematics, and then ask me how to measure the water of the Yellow River?"
There was an uproar around, and this kid really had some tricks.
"That's it." Tang Jian nodded slightly. If you can tell how to measure the water of the Yellow River, then what if you win in the calculation method?"
Unlike the corrupt scholars who could do nothing but Zhihu hundreds of years later, the civil officials of this era were still a little capable. For example, they were familiar with the calculation of things, even the archery, horses, riding and shooting, and they learned well. In their opinion, the surging Yellow River water was surging, and it was simply something that only gods could do.
"The calculation formula is the flow rate of the water flow section multiplied by the cross-sectional area." Yan Fei learned these when he was in school, and was also worried about memorizing the formula. "Simply put, it is to take a part of the water to calculate its weight flow rate and multiply it by the width and area of the entire river channel. If it is too complicated, you can't understand it. You just need to know that the water can measure the Yellow River."
What Yan Fei said made Tang Jian and others stunned, but although he was not sure what he was saying, it was correct to have a water-water measure the Yellow River. In this way, Yan Fei's image was quickly promoted from a savage from a wilderness abroad to a scholar similar to that of a Tang people.
"I am Wen Yanbo." An old man in purple robe stepped forward. "You said you are well-versed in astronomy and geography, so do you know where Penglai Fairy Mountain is located?"
"What you are asking about is not astronomy, geography, but a myth." Yan Fei shook his head. "There are no fairy mountains in this world, and there will be no moving islands. It is impossible to feel the movement of the continental plates in terms of human life."
"Okay, I'll ask you again." Wen Yanbo also knew that the so-called Penglai Fairy Mountain was just a legend, and it was meaningless to talk about astronomy and geography. "I heard that you came from the extreme west, so do you know where on the other side of the sea after reaching the sea all the way east?"
Yan Fei looked at Li Shimin, who was full of confusion, "Your Majesty, there are too many things, and it is impossible for me to explain one by one. So if I have time, I can take Your Majesty to the sky and fly around to see the earth. Maybe your Majesty will understand a lot at that time."
